Abraham glanced at Casey awkwardly, and said, "No need. It's my apprentice who talked nonsense. No offense."
Casey didn't say anything. He just took Edith out.
Caleb glared at Casey fiercely, and said, "Master, this brat did it on purpose. He knows that the dinner will start right away and you don't have time to have a competition with him, so he said that deliberately."
Abraham glared at Caleb and said coldly, "Enough, shut up your mouth. If Mr. Hugo is unhappy again, I won't plead for you."
Caleb shrank his neck immediately, and didn't dare to speak. He thought why Casey was so lucky and why Mr. Hugo was so kind to him.
In the courtyard in the Gray family, those who came to the dinner party had already entered one after another. The lights in the courtyard were also lit up, which looked very lively.
People who came here had certain status in J City. Everyone also attached great importance to this dinner, so they all seized the chance to make friends to expand their connections.
Francis led the Patel family and stood in the crowd, smiling and talking with the people around him.
"This is really a dinner party of the top family. Those who come here are all elites. I didn't expect that I could also attend this level of dinner party." Nyla said with a smile.
"Don't underestimate yourself. We are also elites, not worse than anyone presented here." Albie said.
"That's right. Now, we are also the upper-class. Maybe Edith is crying at home now. Such a good opportunity! But she couldn't come. It’s so pity!" Nyla sneered.
Albie also laughed and said, "What qualifications does she have to come to this place? She just helped the company manage a project. If I were her, I can do better than her."
"And Casey. He even dared to say that the Gray family also invited him. I looked around outside and didn't see him. If he could come to this place, it would such a surprise."
Nyla showed a disgusted expression on her face, and said, "I feel sick when I heard Casey’s name. He just knows bragging. Apart from bragging, he's really good-for-nothing."
When they were talking and showing off their superiority, Casey led Edith out of the living room.
Hugo had to entertain other guests, so he let Casey and Edith enjoy themselves.
Casey and Edith went around in the yard and took some desserts to eat.
At this time, Nyla saw Casey and Edith, her eyes widened immediately.
"Is it just me, or are Casey and Edith really there?" Nyla said.
Albie immediately followed Nyla's gaze to look over. After seeing that it was indeed Casey and Edith, his face also showed a trace of astonishment.
"How did the two of them come in? Without the invitation, they can’t come in." Albie muttered.
"Could it be that they sneaked in? If they are discovered by Mr. Hugo, they will definitely suffer." Nyla guessed.
"Damn it. They’re jealous that we can come to the dinner party of the Gray family, so they sneaked in. If they are discovered by people in the Gray family, we might be involved. We have to tell Grandpa about this." Albie decided immediately.
The two hurried to Francis' side and told Francis that Casey and Edith sneaked in.
Francis immediately looked towards Casey and Edith, and said furiously, "These two bastards dare to sneak in. They want to ruin the Patel family again!"
"Grandpa, I think we should go over and expose their lies now. Otherwise, it will be too late when the people in the Gray family find out." Albie said.
"That's right. Exposing their lies in public can prove that what they did has nothing to do with the Patel family." Nyla echoed.
Francis snorted coldly. Then he walked towards Casey and Edith with others.
At a distance, Edith felt an anger approaching her. After turning to look over, she saw Francis, then she said immediately, "Grandpa."
"You bastards! Who let you two sneak in? Do you want to ruin the Patel family?" Francis shouted.
Edith immediately explained, "Grandpa, we didn't sneak in."
"Edith, stop arguing here anymore. If it weren’t that you sneaked in, how would you get in? Do you have an invitation letter from the Gray family?" Nyla asked.
Edith was suddenly embarrassed. She and Casey were picked up by a special car from the Gray family. Of course, no invitation letter was needed.
"We don't need an invitation letter to come here. Mr. Hugo sent a car to pick us up." Casey said.
Albie immediately curled his lips and said, "Casey, your bragging ability is getting better day by day. Why don’t you say that you came here by Hummer? Are you qualified?"
When Francis heard that Casey and Edith didn’t even admit that they had sneaked in, his face sank. He said coldly, “Edith, I always thought you were a good girl. Now why do you learn from Casey to lie? Do you know what will happen if the people from the Gray family find out you two sneak in?"
"Grandpa, we really didn't sneak in. We met Mr. Hugo just now. You have to believe me." Edith said anxiously.
"It's getting more ridiculous. I haven't met Mr. Hugo yet. But yow two met him first? You didn't blush when you lied!" Francis shouted angrily.
An idea popped into Albie’s mind. A sinister smile appeared on his face. After looking around, he shouted, "Everyone, take a look. This one here is a notorious trash in J City. He’s not qualified to attend this dinner party, but he sneaked in by himself. My grandfather caught him. But he still refuses to admit it. Everyone, come to see the trash!"
Everyone was immediately attracted by Albie's words. Then they all gathered around, staring at Casey and Edith.
